First trip of 2023!
Hello again everyone!!! Well, it’s 2023 and we just went on our first camping trip of the season with our Airstream! It is Spring Break for Leonard at Pitt, so we flew down to Tampa and got the trailer out of winter storage and headed over to St. Augustine for five days! We went with…
Done for the winter!
Well, the time has come – to put the trailer “away” for the winter, until we start thinking about camping again next spring! We decided to take the trailer to Florida, where we have our condo, and also a storage shed there to store it! But on the way, we stopped in North Carolina to…
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
Well, it’s time to get the Airstream out of storage and head out on a short camping adventure! We sure have missed it, especially since we were in it for about 5 weeks this summer! Driving it to the storage facility to “put it up” for a while was really sad – ha-ha! We said…

FARMINGTON, PART 2!
On one of our USS TR calls, Carol had told us that she was thinking of having a ceremony to honor our sons and all of those who were or still are part of the Theodore Roosevelt – we thought it was a GREAT idea, and were just planning to go to a military memorial…
OFF TO FARMINGTON!
We waved goodbye to the kids and to Nolan (which was hard to do!) and headed to New Mexico! We had a long first day and stopped in Flagstaff, Arizona first – the most AMAZING thing about that stop was the temperature! We had been in hot weather in California, as well as every step…

TIME TO HEAD BACK EAST!
Well, all good things must come to an end… I can’t believe we have been here over two weeks, and it’s actually time to pack up the Airstream and head back across the country! WOW! Time sure does fly! It’s been such an awesome time here in California, most of all because we have spent…
